The Letter of Suspension is a crucial document in Belgian employment practice, used when an employer needs to temporarily suspend an employment contract. This document type is specifically regulated under Belgian employment law and must meet strict legal requirements to be valid. The letter is typically used in situations such as economic unemployment, disciplinary proceedings, or other legitimate grounds for suspension as defined by Belgian law. It must clearly communicate the reason for suspension, duration, financial implications, and conditions for return to work. The Letter of Suspension serves as an official record of the temporary modification to the employment relationship and must align with both the Belgian Employment Contracts Act and applicable collective labor agreements. It's essential that the document protects both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with Belgian social security and employment protection regulations.
